The New York Times determined that "as usual with the Roches, [the EP] finds new things to say about love and its discontents—quietly but without flinching."[8] The Los Angeles Times praised the "enticing, soft-rockish title song."[9]
AllMusic wrote that "an alternately gleeful and wary romanticism empowers the whole set, as the Roches sisters' voices entwine as one, with novel harmonies adding cycles of tension and resolution."[6]
